Fireproof cigarette idea flares in Atlantic City
Charles Cohn, 77, claims his Colite coated cigarette cuts tar and nicotine by about 25 percent during puffing and 65 percent in sidestream smoke. The device cools the burn, reduces ash, and supposedly won’t ignite skin or fabrics. Despite patent 4,044,778 and 35 other patents, tobacco firms and regulators have largely ignored the concept.

Political ax may fall on Maryland SBA district chief
Maryland SBA district director Gerard Lang, 59, faces transfer by Dec 1 along with 14 other Republican district directors amid claims the moves are political. Lang, in the Maryland post since 1973, calls the plan a retirement misfit while SBA administrator Vernon Weaver defends it as career development. Critics, including Rep. James Martin, say the reshuffle harms morale and targets Republicans in an election year.
